Hello! I was just browsing the web and found:

http://www.dogtrainersofnewyork.com/

maybe they can help? Or at least give you a good referral?

I'm in my second round of obedience training with my yellow lab puppy, and its been a lifesaver! Good luck in finding the perfect trainer, they are out there.

One more thing, stick to the leash and LOTS of treats. Try holding the treats at your side (the side you prefer) and hold it at their eye level so he learns to look at you. They will associate standing at your side with the smell of treats and eatting. It takes time, but it really works.
